Jacob's Ladder - "A Coastal Paradise with Heavenly Views"

Views, views, views. Located just below scenic Boyes Drive, Jacob’s Ladder enjoys the most elevated location high above historic St James.

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls encompass the mesmerising views across False Bay, and picture windows frame the mountain behind. Cleverly designed with an articulated ceiling that creates additional volume, and minimal use of internal walls, the house is airy and filled with light, yet furnished such that each space is distinctive, welcoming and cosy.

Drawn to that enormous blue horizon, you pass an en-suite guest bedroom (the only bedroom without a sea view) to where white Weylandts lamps lengthen into the stairwell; to the left is the open lounge, furnished in a palette of blue and maroon.

Warmed with a convection wood-burning fireplace in winter; to the right is an open kitchen-cum-dining room. Surrounded by views, this well-equipped kitchen invites cooking and entertaining in equal measure.
